Last night, the Los Angeles Lakers played against the Miami Heat without the help of Kobe Bryant, who sat out due to some back issues.

While Kobe was unable to suit up, he was able to offer some sage advice to Dwyane Wade’s son Zaire. After Wade mentioned that he didn’t like how Zaire didn’t shoot the ball enough, Kobe jumped in with the Kobeist advice possible.

Kobe’s basketball philosophy boiled down into seven words – “You need to shoot a lot more.” So succinct, it should probably go down on Kobe’s epitaph.
